Going to Rhodes This Fall? Here’s What to Wear

Got a fall trip planned to Ródos, Greece? Ródos can be fun to visit in the fall, but you'll want to make sure you're dressed right. The weather is warm and a little humid with muggy evenings, with temperatures averaging around 77°F (that's 25°C). So what should you wear so you can stay comfy and fit in with the local vibe?

To make the most of your trip to Ródos, a good rule of thumb is to pack comfortable clothing that you can layer. Loose-fitting clothing in breathable fabrics will keep you cool in warmer weather, while a light jacket or cardigan will come in handy for cooler days or evenings. And if you plan on doing any sightseeing, be sure to wear comfortable shoes. Nothing like a nasty blister to ruin a good vacation, right?

In just a second, I'll share my specific recommendations for exactly what to wear in Ródos in fall—whether you're visiting the Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes, exploring the Old Town of Rhodes, or swimming at Lindos Beach.

🔗 What should women wear in Rhodes in fall?

Ródos in fall is generally warm, and there are a few key items you'll want to pack. Here's what I definitely wouldn't go without: loose-fitting clothing, pashmina, maxi dresses, long-sleeved shirts, and linen trousers. With these essentials, you’ll be all set to experience everything Ródos has to offer.

🔗 Loose-fitting clothing

When packing for Ródos in fall, it's important to choose clothing that will keep you cool and comfortable. Loose-fitting clothes are ideal, as they allow air to circulate around your body and help to regulate your temperature. Look for lightweight fabrics such as cotton or linen, which will help you to stay cool even in the hottest weather. When choosing colors, stick to light shades which will reflect rather than absorb heat. And don't forget to pack a few items that can be mixed and matched to create different looks. With a little planning, you can ensure that you'll be comfortable and stylish no matter what the weather is like on your trip.

Here are a few of my top picks:

🔗 Pashmina

A pashmina is a must-have accessory for a trip to Ródos. They can be used as a scarf, sarong, blanket, or even a headscarf. They are light and easy to pack, yet they provide warmth and color to any outfit. Pashminas come in a variety of colors and patterns, so it's easy to find one that compliments your personal style. When choosing a pashmina, look for one that is made from natural fibers such as wool or cashmere. These fibers are not only more durable, but they will also breathe better and keep you covered without making you sweat.

Don't have anything suitable? Grab one of these:

🔗 Maxi dresses

A maxi dress is the perfect Ródos staple. It's comfortable, flattering, and can be dressed up or down to suit any occasion. Whether you're exploring or just relaxing, a maxi dress will keep you cool and stylish all day long. It's also a great way to cover up for modesty if you need to (simply add a long-sleeved cardigan over the top). And packing a maxi dress is a breeze—simply roll it up and tuck it into your suitcase. When choosing a maxi dress, look for one made from lightweight fabric such as linen or cotton. Avoid bold prints and opt for simple colors that can be easily accessorized.

These would be perfect:

🔗 Long-sleeved shirts

Long-sleeved shirts are an essential part of any travel wardrobe. They can be dressed up or down, and they offer sun protection on bright days. When choosing a long-sleeved shirt for Ródos, it's important to look for one that is comfortable and breathable. A lightweight cotton shirt is a good option, as it will keep you cool in warm weather and can be layered under a sweater or jacket when the temperature drops. It's also a good idea to choose a shirt in a neutral color that can be easily paired with other items in your suitcase.

I found these which would all work great:

🔗 Linen trousers

Linen trousers might just be the perfect staple for a warm-weather vacation. You already know they are made from a light, breathable fabric. Plus, they can be paired with a variety of tops to create both casual and dressy looks. When choosing linen trousers, it's important to look for a pair that fits well and complements your overall look. This will help you feel your best when exploring Ródos (and taking all those vacation photos).

Button-down shirts or polos are always a good idea to pack. They don't wrinkle easily and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.

🔗 Cargo shorts

Cargo shorts are comfortable, have plenty of pockets for storing all your essentials, and they can be easily dressed up or down. They are also extremely versatile—wear them on the beach, on a hike, or even out to dinner. Having ample storage for your passport, your phone, and your wallet is very useful in Ródos. Also, pick a pair that comes in a neutral color. This will ensure they can be easily paired with any top or sneaker.

Here's a few ideas to get you started:

🔗 Sneakers or loafers

Sneakers or loafers are essential for visiting Ródos. They're comfortable, versatile, and easy to pack. And, when you're on your feet all day, they can help prevent aches and pains. But how do you know which sneakers or loafers to pack? If you'll be doing a lot of walking, opt for a sneaker with good arch support and cushioning. And don't forget style! Sneakers and loafers come in countless colors and designs, so pick something that goes with the rest of your outfits.

Why not treat yourself before you go:

🔗 Jeans

You just cannot go wrong with a good pair of jeans. They're comfortable, versatile, and easy to care for—not to mention they always look great. Whatever you're doing in Ródos, jeans will always come in handy. Of course, not all jeans are created equal. Be sure to choose a pair that's comfortable and flattering. If you'll be doing a lot of walking, look for a light-weight denim that won't weigh you down. And if you're hoping to dress up for a nice dinner out, a dark wash denim will always do the trick.

These options are both stylish and comfy:
